Warriness might be true of the Ravenclaws but I don't see that as a trait of the Hufflepuffs. Their ghost wanted to have every child in his house. One of their traits is acceptance of everyone and that doens't seem to match being wary of new people.
The Hufflepuffs by second year are very close. They express a desire to protect the muggleborns in their house, something the Gryffindors don't do. No one is talking about protecting Colin Creavey.
Ernie is very supportive of his fellow Huffs of what ever background.
I knew Tonks was a Huff because she married a werewolf.
I think they'd have the attitude that you were welcome just because you were there and had a pulse. (Which is pretty much Harry and Ron's circular logic to Neville. You're one of us so you must be brave.)
This doesn't mean they aren't smart or skilled. It just means they are open to being friends with everyone.

What about the House symbols? I get the eagle for the intellectual house, the serpent for the disreputable house, the lion for the brave house - but, a badger for the most accepting house?
I think of badgers as dangerous and not very friendly. They live fairly solitary lives.
Why the Badger?
